Without digging into this at all, what happens if you delete the file last? Craig Newman -----Original Message----- From: Graham Samuel <[email protected]> To: How to use LiveCode <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, Mar 23, 2013 1:28 pm Subject: Can't delete a stack I've got a stack that I want to purge in the way the IDE does. At the time of execution of the script below, the stack is in memory with a copy of it in a file (the path is in a global 'gDataStackPath'. I want to destroy both. Part of my script looks like this: try if there is a file gDataStackPath then delete file gDataStackPath set the cantDelete of stack "myData" to false set the destroyStack of stack "myData" to true set the destroyWindow of stack "myData" to true delete stack "myData" -- this should remove it from memory This deletes the file as expected, and the IDE shows that the stack is still in memory, but the script crashes on the 'delete stack..' line. The error is 361 "can't set this property". What did I do wrong?
